Description:
Firestone UNA-CLAD UC-500 Flush Panel is a factory-formed,
formed, interlocking,
architectural metal panel designed for soffit and fascia applications. The

Method of Application:
1.
2.
3.
A smooth, solid substrate of plywood or OSB, or a substructure of min. 22 ga (0.79 mm), 7/8” (22
(22.3 mm) hat channels is
recommended for the Firestone UC-500
500 metal flush panel.
Firestone UC-500 panels must be installed in a sequential order.
Application of a Firestone approved underlayment prior to panel installation is recommended.
Storage:
•
•
Firestone metal panels should be stored in a well ventilated, dry place where no moisture can contact them. Moisture (F
(From rain,
snow, condensation, etc.) trapped between layers of material may cause water stains or white rust, which can affect the service
life of the material and will detract for the appearance.
If outdoor storage cannot be avoided, protect the panels with a ventilated canvas or waterproof paper co
cover.
ver. Do not use plastic,
which can cause condensation. Keep the material off the ground in an inclined position with an insulator such as wood.
Protective film may degrade or become brittle with long term exposure to direct sunlight.
Precautions:
•
•
Aluminum is recommended for soffit applications.
Oil canning is not a cause for rejection. Heavier gauges, narrower widths, striations, and embossing minimize oil canning.
•
Sealant for end laps and lap joints shall be non--drying, non-toxic, and non-shrinking
ing with a serviceable temperature of –60 to
212 ºF (-51 to 100 ºC).
life butyl sealants work best as a gasket sandwiched between two pieces of metal. Non
Non-acetic
acetic cured silicone color
Quality, long-life
matching sealants are recommended when voids must be fill
filled.
ed. Sealants are not a substitute for proper assembly and
workmanship.
Exercise caution when lifting, moving, transporting, storing or handling Firestone metal to avoid possible physical damage.
Refer to Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) for safety inform
information.
Immediately remove protective film after installation.
